About the companyFounded in 1995, by toy designer David Siegel, Street Players first made their mark in the toy business by developing “Street Sharks”, a toy and entertainment brand purchased by Mattel. “Street Sharks” went on to be a $100 million business.

Most recently, the Los Angeles-based company redefined a traditional toy that’s loved by generations of families, the sock monkey. By using assorted fabrics and colors, Siegel gave a new twist to a familiar favorite. Over the last 2 years, Street Players has sold over 4 million of their sock monkeys.
